Why We Should Legalize Prostitution Now
Prostitution should be legal. Now. Immediately.
Will it? Of course not. That will take decades. Even Democrats don't want to touch that issue. Now, when I say prostitution I mean between consenting adults. If someone is a minor, than no. They can't consent. if someone is being forced into it, than they are a victim and the police should use all resources to imprison the creeps abusing her.
But between consenting adults, than yes, there shouldn't be a sex police. Let's look at this logically. Sex among consenting adults is perfectly legal. Well, in some states less than a decade ago it wasn't if you were gay, but the extremists in the anti-sex movement haven't made it illegal yet again. Capitalism is legal (sometimes with safeguards for things like safety), along as you don't sell something that is illegal.
For example, cocaine is illegal, so it is illegal to have or to sale. While the drug war is bad policy, at least there is some logic to that. Prostitution though is strange because it is the only thing that is legal to do but that is illegal if done for money. No other thing I can thing of is like that. Geroge Carlin said the same thing, but used language, I am sure I can't use in an examiner column.
What about a young woman who dates or marries a man old enough to be her grandfather, that isn't a form of prostitution? What about a date where a man buys a woman dinner, is that in anyway a form of prostitution, even if no sexual act comes of it. What if the woman realizes she isn't going to date the guy next time, but stays to eat the meal? Should she have cuffs put on her?
Those who favor these laws often bring up harms whose cause is in reality the laws themselves. For example, child prostitution is created by having no legal and regulated outlet of prostitution allowed in the vast majority of the U.S. So, unethical pimps who have no qualms in using 13 year olds as prostitutes fill the void.
One cop I saw in a video stated that street prostitutes often have criminal connections they can investigate. Of course they do, because making it illegal will create those connections. If you make popcorn illegal than those who sell popcorn will have criminal connections.
I am under no illusion that prostitution laws will be reformed because in reality they are religious laws. They are almost solely the religious beliefs of the majority. It is the belief that prostitution is against a god's law and so society and the government should lock up people who do just that. It is the same mindset (still actually enforced sometimes) that have created laws against adultery.
Simply, it isn't the government's business who you have sex with, along as you are both consenting adults. If the government is worried about street prostitution, fine, than don't outlaw outlets that don't involve it. Don't outlaw brothels or massage parlors that have prostitution. Ensure that everyone involved is a consenting adult and they use contraception. It is simply harm reduction, something every public policy should utilize but unfortunately, doesn't.

It is so hard to deal and decide on this matter. I think, anyone who will be asked about this will surely had a hard time to answer. This is one of the very sensitive topics that need thorough thinking. I have heard of a news about a prostitution sting. A female in Bradenton, Fla. was arrested by police force officers last week for prostitution. The arrest in itself isn't uncommon, but a particularly detailed police document "exposed" law enforcement utilization of rubber penis replicas in prostitution stings. Source for this article: Police use of fake penises exposed in graphic arrest report. This issue earned a lot of different opinions from different people and even from several sectors in the society.

that prostitution should not be forbidden by law. I think that a lot of laws are wrong. I know that prostitution is immoral, but using the law to limit another person's actions is even more immoral. A hooker may harm herself, and those who choose to employ her, but she doesn't directly harm me.
As in the case of drugs, prohibition does more harm than good. If it were legal, hookers would have the freedom to practice their trade in a safer environment . They could avail themselves of constitutional protections, and civil law. Disputes could be handled with a lawyer and a jury instead of a violent pimp.
The proper use of the law would mean less laws, and more focus on protecting actual freedoms.
To the little girl posting that minors can consent, first of your not suppose to be here because your a kid. Second nobody under the age of 18 is leggally allowed to have sex with an ADULT period.
Why we are spending my tax dollars because teens want to run of with PIMPS is not ok.
The tax payers will start demanding that minors are held in detention and not rereleased to the parent.
If your unhappy in your current home I suggest you contact child protectives services in your area and I would hope THEY WILL NOW INVESTIGATE YOUR IP ADDRESS.
It is people like you that help fool the public into thinking that indoor prostitution between consentng adults is the same as trying to exploit teens.
No man in his right mind will pick out an escort under 30, its like trying to buy smokes or beer, if youlook under 30 THEN CARD THEM.
Do not think just because escort have been criminalized that we won't report kids being exploited, we will report it.
is 16 in many states and is 15 in CO, CT and VA.

Everything I do, I do it for you.
It is legal in some states for 16 and 17 year old to consent to sex with another minor, not an ADULT. If the guy has turned 18 the day before, than its a felony. If he has paid the teen he can get 25 years under the human trafficking guidelines.
Beings most hookers do not show the JOHN ID, I would think any reasonable man who stay away from anyone that looked under 30.
It is societies JOB to SUPPORT and PROTECT all teen til they are 18. So there is no need for you to turn to prostitution. Stay in school. This is a clear example of why these kids need to locked up in bootcamp until they can learn to behave themselves.
I bet this gir has no problem that we used 800,000 in tax dollars to rescue just 69 teens , meanwhile not one penny was spent on trying to find the killer who buried the 4 bodies of escorts in Long Island.
I can not believe this site printed this YOUNG GIRLS DESIRE TO BE A HOOKER, and I hope they reported it to the the cops as they are required to do by law.
Do you understand most of the JOHNS are not looking to hook up with a KID. Mature, middled aged women are double the price than of a TEEN. I would think they few PREDATORS who are willing to be with a TEEN would not be the best clients.
I'm sorry to tell you that age of consent means the age at which an individual can decide to have sex with anyone at the age of consent or higher.

Could you please link the "Young Girls Desire to be a Hooker" article. I agree that girls should not prostitute themselves until they understand what they are choosing, but Johns murdering prostitutes only goes unpunished when the job is illegal and unregulated. Legalizing and regulating the practice would instantly make it 1000% safer.
Everything I do, I do it for you.
There is not link, its the girl on here commenting that she thinks teens should be allowed to be hookers. She is acting like she is a minor by her posts and I AM CONCERNED THERE ARE KIDS HERE, and can't belive they would post her comments.
Over 95% of teens that have been exploited into prostitution are RUNAWAYS that ran off with thier pimps, even ADULT WOMEN whoe CLAIM THEY ARE FORCED, only claim this once they are arrested. Whether a pimp is beating me or threatening me or whether I am under threat of being evicted for being able to make my rent, ITS THE SAME THING. I am beng forced and am a VICTIM.
These women have been stripped of their basic civil rights, that we allow them NO SAFE HAVEN, we are creating JOHN SCHOOLS so men can walk away without criminal records, yet the women gets criminal record and is she will now be discriminated against housing and employment for LIFE. Then we leave her VUNERABLE with no long term services for her to exit the industry, and we just EXPECT HER TO LIVE IN POVERTY OR LIVE IN THE STREETS. And keep in mind we are not talking about curb crawlers, I am talking abut middled aged upscale escorts that Law Enforcment Stalks Online, the cops are stalking us so they can try and seize our assets. Not one dime of the money will even be spent on services for these women. Thats on top of the fines they give the women during her procecution. they are using SWAT TEAMS to kick in the doors of these WOMENS HOMES, and then issuing the women a SUMMONS TO APPEAR. If you kick in their door their landlords evicit them. Your tax dollars at work.
However I get really mad when I hear law enforcment tell the media that serial killers RARELY MURDER HOOKERS, like it isn't a problem tat they just found those 4 bodies of escorts buried in Long Island.
Especially when we have created laws that PREVENT WOMEN & CHILDREN from reporting crimes against themselves. the cops us threats, just like the pimps that us threats.
All PIMPS would be wiped out if women coukd simply call the cops and say I am being harassed. Most pimps are using TEENS as they are NAIVE and easily impressed and society is even failing these young girls, by returning them to their families so they teen can run off again. I think its MORE COMPASSIONATE and RESPONSIBLE of us to put these girls in reform school until they can behave and so they can finish their educations. We are suppose to Protect children.

Don't let those that say non-religious people can have morals outside a diety read this, because I'm sure that there are some of them that would think this isn't a good idea. I know I wouldn't want these places around me.
I don't really care either way on this topic, but the pimp may be forced to use more 13 year olds since adult women will have other options.
Why force contraception? That may be what the customer is into and would only be forcing yourself back into the bedroom.
A date isn't prostitution unless its used solely to get a free meal, and that's only if there is some form of sexual gratification.
I don't follow anyone, because those that appear to be on the same path usually end up just getting in my way.
